A quite astonishing instance of what applied science can do was demonstrated a little while ago in connection with Sim making. Miss Ingrid Bergman, the new Swedish star, who has been working in Hollywood with Leslie Howard in "Intermezzo," had finished her work and was on her way home to Sweden on the "Queen Mary." After she left it was discovered that a few lines from her were wanted to dub on to the scene which Leslie Howard was finishing.
Someone in the studio had the bright idea of setting a sound recording booth in contact with a transatlantic telephone. Miss Berg-man in mid-Atlantic spoke her lines from the "Queen Mary," and they were duly recorded and used in California. This suggests further possibilities of television and the making of films in America by actors and actresses who will not need to leave their European homes, Niven and Magic David Niven who has recently been promoted to the front rank in Hollywood will ce-star with Loretta Young in "Eternally Yours" In this he will play the part of a professional magician known as "The Great Arturo" With the help of the camera he will perform many my-stifling conjuring tricks including the disappearance and reappearance of his wife, played by Miss Young.
This picture will have the advantage of being directed by Tay Gernett, who will have charge of a distinguished cast, including Hugh Herbert as valet to "The Great Arturo," Aubrey Smith who will be characteristically kindly and majestic as a bishop, Virginia Field as the magician's former assistant, and last but not least, Zasu Pitts whose hands will doubtless flutter as charmingly and significantly as they have flute tered so many times before.
